Silver the Silent Moon!

Silver the Silent Moon was a hit! A lot of people out there probably don't know what I'm talking about. Well, you will find out right about now. I was supposed to write a myth for Reading in school. Then, I would have to perform it with eye contact, gestures, costume, and props. That sounds like a lot of work for me. But, there is one more thing you need to know. I had to memorize it! And I wrote three pages! Uh-oh how was I supposed to memorize and perform that! Anyways, we could have one small index card and write a few facts on it just in case I forgot some thing. But, only one side. The night before my performance I practiced in front of my parents and there is a link to you tube at the end of this article that shows my myth at home. (The final product!) I used this card that plays this tower of terror music at my performance and during the introduction when I closed the card everyone started clapping and it was just the beginning! Then finally, when I finished my performance and shut the card for the last time, I got a standing ovation and loud cheering and clapping! I felt soooo good! I had tons of questions after it about my costume (shirt) and the card. My teacher Mr. Goggins was explaining to the class that you should make eye contact and voice projection and all this good stuff like Jillie! The next days I did'nt have to take the spelling tests. I got to read them since I was such a great story teller I guess! It was really fun to preform and I felt soooooooooooo good to preform! Now, here's a link to my Myth Silver the Silent Moon!
